I'm also worried that our pulling power in terms of recruitment may suffer with Maguire leaving. I don't see us being able to lure the calibre of NRL players like Hoffman and Finch without a respected Aussie/Kiwi coach. The only hope is Maguire puts in a good word. I reckon bring in Adrian Lam as assistant'"
Can't see this being an issue. It is Wigan RLFC its not like players are going to say "who are they", unless you try to sign the Pope. When Bradford promoted Brian Noble from the backroom staff, nobody would have known who he was on the other side of the globe but he was able to sign guys like Jo Vagana, Vainikolo, Gartner, and actually Ian Millward was just an unknown from Leigh when he took over Saints and he was able to sign Fairleigh, Albert and Britt early on in his time there. Warrington managed to get Andrew Johns to come over....I wonder if it was the pull of Paul Cullen that clinched the deal...
